Potential of front-face fluorescence spectroscopy was evaluated to classify muscles according to their chemical and rheological characteristics. Seven bovine muscles (Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus, Tensor fasciae latae, Rectus abdominis, Longissimus thoracis et lumborum, Triceps branchii and Infraspinatus) were taken from 14 animals of the Charolais breed. Chemical characteristics and rheological properties of the meat were determined including dry matter, fat, collagen, protein, peak load, energy required to rupture and cooking loss. Emission spectra in the 305-400nm, 340-540nm and 410-700nm ranges were recorded using front-face fluorescence spectroscopy by fixing the excitation wavelengths at 290, 322 and 382nm, respectively. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) applied on chemical and rheological parameters showed that these muscles were significantly different (P<0.01) from each other. Chemical and rheological data were divided into low, medium and high range groups for each variable. The results of PLSDA showed that 305-400nm spectra were responsible for 67% (calibration), 53% (validation), 96% (calibration) and 55% (validation) of good classification for protein and cooking loss, respectively, while 340-540nm spectra allowed 75% of good classification (validation samples) for fat content.

The physicochemical characterization of fresh, undiluted, cold-pressed oil from elderberry seeds (EO) is presented. The results showed EO's uniqueness for the 93 % presence of essential fatty acids, including linoleic n-6 (41 %), α-linolenic n-3 (38 %), and oleic n-9 (13 %) acids with favorable ratios for human nutrition, n-3/n-6 = 0.93.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved the use of a 1045 J/L UV-C dose as an adjunct to pasteurization to increase the shelf life and vitamin D3 content of milk. However, there are no verification methods analogous to the alkaline phosphatase test for pasteurized milk to ensure that the desired UV-C dose has been correctly applied. The aim is to develop a real-time in-line detector based on fluorescence spectroscopy.

A 3D-printed stereolithographic platform for selective biorecognition is designed to enable convective microscale affinity extraction of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) followed by direct solid-phase optosensing exploiting ratiometric front-face fluorescence spectroscopy. For this purpose, a recombinant monoclonal plantibody (recAb) is covalently attached to a 3D-printed structure for sorptive immunoextraction, whereupon the free and unbound primary amino moieties of the recAb are derivatized with a fluorescent probe. The fluorophore-recAb-MC-LR laden device is then accommodated in the cuvette holder of a conventional fluorometer without any instrumental modification for the recording of the solid-phase fluorescence emission.

This technical note presents a device to diminish scattering signal in front-face fluorescence spectra while obtaining fluorescence signal. The beam path in a commercial fluorescence spectrometer was modified by two deflecting mirrors, leading reflections away from the sensor. This light path modifying (LPM) device was tested with two fluid and three solid substances, where the scattering-to-fluorescence ratio improved by a factor of 1.

The integration of spectroscopic techniques with chemometrics offers a means to monitor quality changes in dairy products throughout processing and storage. This study employed Attenuated Total Reflectance-Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-MIR) coupled with Independent Components Analysis (ICA), and 3D Front-Face Fluorescence Spectroscopy (FFFS) paired with Common Components and Specific Weight Analysis (CCSWA). The research focused on Cheddar cheeses aged for 1, 2, 3, and 5 years, alongside Comté cheeses aged for 6, 9, and 12 months.
